    thanks all, i will try anything to get baby to turn, otherwise i wont get my home birth i want.
    midwife said because i have quick labours it may be dangerous as well, my daughter was 20minutes and my son 3 years ago was a 9 minute labour :j

    hope this ones quick !!!;)

    I read somewhere, that each labour, is on average a 1/3 of the time of the previous one! At this rate you won't have time to get you pants off!! :eek:

    My first was 16hrs, second was 3hr 45min, this should be about an hour - I wish!!

    I dreamt she'd arrived last night, she was very dark and hairy!! I took DD to school, came home, gave birth, then did my ironing before going to pick DD up from school with my lovely new pram! If only it was that easy :rotfl:

    Kurjam is baby bum down or feet 1st I bet with your quick labours you could pop out a feet 1st baby ;) Have you looked on babycentre, I remember spending a lot of time upside down on their advice to turn Chris and it worked :D (good job too as he was 3days early!

    If that 1/3 of length thing is true then I'm in for 2hrs 20mins :j
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    My labours haven't worked out like that, 4hr, 5hr, 3hr, 8hr then 2hr. Bit all over the place. Quickest was when I spent most of it doing circuits of the coffee table!
    Too many children, too little time!!!

  • Tine, you know tonsilitis isn't contagious? No need to quarantine the poor man lol... I suffered for years, got my tonsils whipped out september 2007, it's so liberating!

    Well hubbies xbox just got returned... Funnily enough he's been tracking it on UPS and it was in Tamworth last night ready to be delivered... He tried to get me out of bed at 7am just in case it came early... I told him where to go and told him it would get here about 11.... 10:59 the UPS van turned up! It's worked out quite well actually because friends of mine asked if Aimee could come and play with their children this morning and I said I couldn't leave the house so they came and fetched her, are taking her out to lunch and bringing her back this afternoon! With any luck I can make some headway in the bedroom, I'm sick of walking over a ton of crap to get to the bed!

    Oh and sami, love the pregnancy pic, couldn't look at your others though :p Got one of me in labour somewhere... Might dig it out, I was huuuuuuuuuge!

    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

  • OMG Krystaltips!!!!!!!!! that was one hell of a bump!!!!
  • It is possible for them to grow back AM, my nan and a friend of mine have both had theirs out twice! (If mine grew back I think I'd just suffer rather than have them out again lol!) In all the years I had it I never passed it on to anyone either... And I used to get it a lot!!

    I think some people are just prone to it, if either me or my sis had it you could garuntee the other would have it too, we both ended up having the Op and had our adenoids out too.

    Tonsillitis can spread from person to person through throat or nasal fluids - this includes saliva, hand contact, or airborne droplets. The incubation period (the period between picking up the infection and symptoms starting to appear) is usually between 2-4 days.
